Hello, I am running CoreELEC on an Amlogic s905x4 box, with CoreELEC running from an SD card. I have been running it fine for several months, but since yesterday CoreELEC gets stuck on the boot logo when turning on. I have tried unplugging, and different HDMI displays, to no avail. If I remove the SD card, I can boot int Android OS just fine. I can SSH into CoreELEC while it is stuck on the boot logo, getting the following print:
CoreELEC (official): 20.2-Nexus (Amlogic-ne.arm)
Machine model: Amlogic
CoreELEC dt-id: sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit
As you can see I am still on 20.2. Would updating via SSH possibly fix the issue, or make it worse? If I update, will I keep my data (that’s important, as I spent a lot of time configuring Kodi to my liking)?
What else can I do to fix this issue?
I am a newbie, so apologies if I am asking stupid questions. All help would be appreciated.

I have tried getting a log with the following commands (obtained from the wiki):
dmesg | paste, which returned:

I have also tried other commands found on this forum, getting similar messages.
I believe this means the paste service is unavailable.
Other commands I’ve tried (obtained form other posts in this forum):
ps | grep kodi, which returned:

systemctl status kodi, which returned:

Which seems to indicate Kodi is running, if I’m not mistaken.
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin -fs &, which returns nothing.
